All our lives are intertwined with various mutual relationships. The quality of our lives largely depends on mutual relationships. We build relationships with each other even before birth, so relationships are very important for humans. Some relationships have a positive effect on us, and some relationships have a very negative effect. There are several types of relationships, depending on who we build them with (friends, parents, partners, work…), depending on the goal we want to achieve in the relationship (e.g. a relationship with a doctor or a car mechanic is different than a relationship with a partner). Relationships also differ in depth, where our emotions, whether positive or negative, play a big role.We find that relationships play a very important role when it comes to the quality of our lives. No one wants a bad quality of life, so it is necessary to make an effort for mutual relations. We want a loving partner who brightens our day as soon as we wake up, we want our children to be hardworking, to achieve good results, to be independent, we want tolerant and friendly traffic participants when we drive to work, we want friendly and smiling colleagues and bosses, we want independent, helpful and friendly parents, good friends, friendly merchants, waiters, car mechanics… And what are we ready to do for that? Sometimes little or nothing. This seems quite self-evident to us. We are all co-creators of a web of relationships. We all bear responsibility for the quality of these relationships. We often hear: we have bad relationships with each other. Either at work, at home or somewhere else. Why are relationships bad? Mostly because we forget to take into account some of the differences in relationship co-creators. All humans are fundamentally good. And each one is special. Everyone has their own needs, beliefs, habits and expectations. We enter a relationship equipped with our own expectations, habits, patterns that we have taken from someone else, but as a rule, they are not universal or correct. For a good relationship, it is necessary to be aware that expectations, habits, etc. other persons in the relationship are partially or completely different from ours. One of the mistakes we make when creating relationships with each other is that we subconsciously want to change the other person to fit our ideas. Another mistake we make is that, in the desire for a good relationship, we submit too much and want to please. A mistake that can threaten a good relationship is that we expect something in ourselves, but for various reasons we do not say it. Either we fear rejection or we simply think that the other person in the relationship should know this easily. Then comes impatience, mixing of different emotions, different characters begin to express themselves and very soon we are in bad relations.

So what is important for good interpersonal relationships?

We must first know ourselves. We must know how to go deep within ourselves, listen to our heart and soul in order to realize what we really want. The next thing we need is strength, the belief that we dare to live by our principles. Only when we are satisfied with ourselves, we will know how to be satisfied with others and we will know how to create good mutual relations. Empathy plays a big role in being able to feel, understand and accept the difference of others, and communication and control over one’s emotions play an equally big role in creating mutual relationships. In unforeseen situations, it is good to give ourselves enough freedom and time to think things over calmly and only then react. Let us try to treat others as we would like others to treat us. Sincerity also plays a big role in good mutual relations. If we want a good and lasting relationship, we must be honest, with ourselves and with others. In a relationship, it is important to feel safe and to trust each other. The enemy of good mutual relations is probably the well-known silence. There is usually a lot of negative emotion and bad feeling wrapped up in silence. It is important that we talk and have a constructive attitude in the conversation.Because: relationships play a big role in our lives. The good ones beautify it, extend it, improve it, and vice versa. Bad interpersonal relationships cause bad will, bad mood, stress, fear, digestive problems, high blood pressure, headache… In the long term, as a result of all this, more serious diseases can develop.

Therefore: we build good mutual relations both at home, at work and in society! Let’s hang out, have fun, and above all, let’s talk a lot. Let’s be frank and honest, that’s the only way our mutual relations will be of high quality and lasting.

Live with your heart and be healthy!
